Sometimes you travel on planes all the time and sometimes you don’t have time to blog so you just put your favorite pinned images as a blog post. Rumour has it. At least this time. Anyway, these pics inspired me and got me all hot and bothered. Follow me on Pinterest for… Read More …
Dear Portland, I like you. You and me make sense. I want to have your little indie baby. Like this dude: please notice the bird on his shoulder. We plan on putting lots of birds on our children. You have many ‘pros’ and only a couple ‘cons’. Pro: I have tons of… Read More …
Down to 8. This week the challenge was the redesign real people in their real houses in pairs. I don’t remember what the constraints were, probably 3 days and 7 stores. Two of them got to do the interiors and 2 pairs had to do the outdoors. They all turned out to be vast improvements…. Read More …
…..is on the agenda today for my guest room. But im trying to come up with an interesting way to do it. and i’m strangely attracted to the diagonal: My headboard is begin upholstered right now in this fabric: and my walls are going to be these two colors: Valspar ‘Four Leaf Clover’… Read More …
When i was little i used to ‘clean’ by shoving things under the sofa, in the oven, behind the toilet. Its a really adorable habit that i haven’t really grown out of. I don’t like too much visible clutter, but i don’t really put things away properly – i just shove things inside of other… Read More …
I call them ‘looking at chairs’, not ‘sitting in chairs’. It’s a lot of people’s nightmare and often the first thing new clients tell me when we talk about style – ‘i don’t want chairs people are afraid to sit in.’ Well be very afraid, people. Function, schmuntion – i want to own these. … Read More …
Episode 3: Making over the Kardashian headquarters in 3 days. I’m pretty sure that no one has more opposite style from me than the Kardashians. It’s contemporary, slick, sexy, minimal and luxurious. 100% not my jam. It’s not bad (this is Kim’s home), and i think a lot of people would like it,… Read More …

Nashville, y’all. Last week was crazy fun, full of boots, blondes and booze battered fried bologna sandwiches. I love the South, i do. People just know how to have a good time and everybody is so nice. Men touch their hats when they shake your hand, little kids call me ‘Miss Emily’, and small-town small… Read More …
Season 7, episode 2. Time for the weekly ‘Emily sits behind a computer and criticizes’ session. I would be the worst critic ever. I’m either merciless and borderline cruel because someone is ‘dead to me’ or i’m overly empathetic. I cringe at the thought of somebody walking away from reading MY blog BUMMED. … Read More …
